well if its runnen down the pan then its probably the oil pan gasket or maybe from the valve cover..... when i swaped my valve cover for one i painted one.... and it was leaken down the front of the motor... ya couldnt tell it was burnen on the motor or any noticably drip.... but it was leaking quite a bit out preaty quickly........

just check it out... and hopefully its just a newcheap gasket...

Well since you said that the oil is dripping down from top of the oil pan, it could be lots of things, most likely your timing case. Get a mechanic to check it outt for you.

already had a mechanic check it out and he couldnt find anything, i'm thinking it was either the plug or the filter not screwd in tight enough, f*ckin quick-stop oil places, i should really stop being lazy and just DIY....
